Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 275 The Beginning of the Western Conference Finals 6
"Friends of the audience, friends of the fans, welcome to watch the third round of the Western Conference finals of the NBA playoffs this season brought by Penguin Sports. There is still half an hour left in the game, and we have already got the starting lineups of both sides. Zhang Zhi, judging from this starting lineup, there is no change from the starting lineups of the previous two rounds. It seems that both sides should say that they have already played. There are no cards left."

"Yes, the hole card should be long gone, that is, the Timberwolves surprised the Warriors by adjusting the lineup in the first round, and judging from the first two rounds of the game, the effect of this adjustment is still very good Yes, as for now, everyone should know the basics, and the fight now is who is in better condition."

"Speaking of this, the last game was a pity for the Timberwolves. If they won that game, it would be a completely different mentality now."

"Yes, the result of that game was very important for both teams."

While Yang Yi and Zhang Lili were chatting about some interesting things about the two sides in the live broadcast room, the head coaches of both sides were also making the final arrangements at the moment.

A little bit of time passed, and finally it was the home team's entrance ceremony.

Amidst the cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of Warriors fans in the Oracle Arena, the starting five players of the Warriors also appeared one by one. As Yang Yi just explained, the starting lineups of the two teams and the first two rounds of the game started. Nothing has changed.

Curry, Thompson, Barnes, David Lee and Bogut, this is the Warriors' starting lineup.

The Timberwolves are still Dinwiddie, Middleton, Grant, Yi Jianlian and Oden.

Middleton, Dinwiddie and Yi Jianlian are the buff blessing objects chosen by Da Zhuang in this game.

Soon the game started with the referee's whistle.

The Timberwolves, who got the first attack, gave the home team a bad start after the opening. After Middleton received Dinwiddie's pass at the top of the arc, he didn't make any extra moves. After receiving the ball, he directly faced Thompson's defense It's just a dry three-pointer.

The moment the basketball fell into the basket, the Warriors fans on the scene couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

No pick-and-rolls, no mismatches, no screens.

Just catch and shoot.

This ball seems to tell everyone in the Warriors that the Timberwolves are determined to win this game.

Cole on the sidelines also frowned slightly after seeing Middleton complete this shot. He didn't expect the opponent's first attack to be so simple and rough, so powerful, and an attack like this The pre-match arrangements must have been carefully arranged by the head coach. Many teams will pursue the success rate of the first attack in order to improve the team's self-confidence and morale.

Especially in such a fierce Western Conference Finals, such a simple and crude scoring method without a trace of tactical content is very rare.

Soon Cole discovered that Middleton was not the only one in this game. The Timberwolves players in almost every position on the field played very simply and rudely, and the key point was that the scoring efficiency was very high.

In addition, what makes Cole a little worried is that the outside line on his side of the game has not been opened for a long time.

In Cole's view, the first game between the two sides was just a non-war crime game, and the second game was a lucky game, so in his opinion, the strength of the two sides is very close, and it should be between equals.

But the situation presented to him in this game was not the case.

It seems that the Timberwolves did not fully enter the state in the first two games, this game is the complete Timberwolves.

From the first offense of the game, the Timberwolves directly took over the game.

The Warriors fell directly into a disadvantage.

Coupled with the fact that Curry and Thompson were unable to start the game on the outside, their three-point shooting percentages throughout the first quarter were very low. Curry made 5 of 1 three-pointers in the first quarter, and Thompson even more. 3 shots and one missed.

"Don't rush, don't rush, don't be affected by the opponent, understand? The opponent just hopes to use this method to let you fall into their rhythm, don't rush." ​​This is Cole in the first quarter of the game to the 5th The timeout called at the end of the minute is to emphasize to the players.

And this has been repeated over and over again.

But the effect was minimal, and he finally knew why the guy on the opposite side arranged such a simple and crude offensive tactic, just hoping to bring the Warriors into their rhythm.

But what Kerr can't figure out is why this guy is so sure he can keep hitting like this.

Cole didn't know that Da Zhuang on the opposite side was a jerk.

Da Zhuang had decided on his strategy for the game long before he arrived at the Oracle Arena, which was to drag the Warriors into an unfamiliar rhythm as Cole thought.

When you want to be fast, I will fight positional warfare, try to use up every attack time, and when you want to be slow, I will fight fast.

In the first game, Da Zhuang was still making matchup adjustments according to the opponent's substitution strategy, but in this game, the Warriors were forced to make tactical adjustments based on Da Zhuang's substitution strategy.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 33 to 26. The Timberwolves led the Warriors by 7 points and ended the first quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, the point difference was widened again, 61 to 50, and the point difference came to double digits.

Although the Warriors fans in the stands have been cheering for the team in their own way, they can only watch the team fall into a disadvantage.

Watching the team slide into the abyss step by step.

"There should be no problem in this game. Those guys on the opposite side are already a little anxious." D'Antoni sat next to Da Zhuang and whispered.

"Well, strive for the end of the next quarter, so that everyone can have more rest time."

Da Zhuang also saw that in the last minute or two of the second quarter, many Warriors were very impatient on the court, and some even didn't think about it before making moves.

Soon the intermission ended, and the players from both sides returned to the court again.

The Warriors have the offensive ball. Obviously, Kerr failed to adjust the team's state during the intermission. Facing Dinwiddie's defense, Curry directly used the cover to enter the inside line, but was sent by Oden. A big hat.

After landing, Curry, who was a little unstable on his feet, obviously was a little bit up at this moment. He kept protesting to the referee about the opponent's block, indicating that Oden was suspected of fouling.

If his teammates hadn't pulled him away in time, the referee, whose face was already sour, would definitely have given him a warning.
